Heat Seeker Motivation Skills

When someone tells you that you can't do something

, or that you're no good; or if you start believing that you are never going to achieve your goals,it HURTS. Well the reason that it hurts is because you are genetically wired to strive for more, to accomplish high goals, to go above and beyond. You are designed to be a heat-seeking missile that eventually hits the target.

Maxwell Maltz wrote a great book titled, Psycho-Cybernetics, and in this book he says exactly that: You are a heat-seeking missile. A heat-seeking missile has tremendous power and potential, but along the way to it's target it makes constant adjustments to stay locked-on to its target. We're the same way. We are genetically wired to reach our goals and hit the target, but we have to adjust along the way to compensate for changes and mistakes.

Think a little about human history. When the cavemen first discovered fire, they didn't just sit around saying, "Hey, this fire is great. Sometimes we get food and sometimes we don't, but that's OK; life is pretty good just like this. Let's just stay here and hang out by the fire and keep hunting the same way we always do." No way! They didn't say that. Over human history, people have always been striving for more and better. We improved our shelter, took over continents, invented all kinds of amazing things, went to the moon. Who knows where we'll go from here? I don't know, but I do know that we will continue to strive for more because we are genetically wired for that.

The problem for many people is that when they make a mistake or encounter an obstacle, they give up. They forget that they are a heat-seeking missile!

Think about a baby. When it's first born, the baby will try to reach out for objects. But because it's coordination isn't fully developed yet, the baby's arm zigzags until it finally latches on to the object. The baby makes micro-adjustments until the object is in hand. The same thing happens when a toddler starts to walk. He starts out wobbling from here to there. He falls and cries. But he keeps getting up and trying again, making little adjustments until finally he grows up and is running marathons.

You're the exact same way when you set a goal. You're going to wobble. You're going to screw-up and make mistakes. But those errors are part of the learning process. They will help you grow and meet higher goals. But for that to happen, you can't give up and quit, otherwise you will never learn.

I can tell you one thing for sure: Anyone who has ever accomplished anything big got there because they FAILED TO QUIT. They just kept going, like a heat-seeking missile, until they hit the target. The made little adjustments along the way, but they kept pressing on.

So get out there, set your goal, launch with power and passion, and never quit! You are a heat-seeking missile!
